I've been super excited for this Outfit Post because I got this jacket from my lover for Christmas! Truth be told, I picked this out because he has trouble figuring out what to buy me every year lol. So it wasn't that much of a surprise but still exciting non the less!! These past few months I've also become wicked obsession with knee high and thigh high boots! They just give that extra little bit of style to an outfit. Sassy.
I've also been experimenting a lot on my hair recently so I thought I would give braids a try and I think it turned out pretty decent for my first attempt! This is the longest my hair has EVER been and I love it! Most of the time Im a pony tail Mom but when I get dressed up I like to have it down. My hair is one of my best qualities so I like to show it off! Because ya know...Im a dying race and all.

Does anyone else feel like Christmas just ends so abruptly?? We spend months and months preparing for this holiday and then all in the matter of a day it's just over haha.

This Christmas and New Years was an absolute blast!!!
We spent Christmas up at my parents place in Drayton Valley, which I am super happy it was my families year because apparently there was very little snow down south. I LOVE a snowy Christmas. Love it. We spent last year in Hawaii and it just didn't feel like the holidays without the snow. It was just weird.

There were a lot of 'firsts' this Christmas also. It was baby Aurora's FIRST CHRISTMAS and she was spoiled! She loved every minute of it. She's going to be quite the princess haha. This year was also there first real taste of snow. We came back when Ben was 10 months but we didn't really go outside or let him play in the snow. Ben is still amazed at this kind of weather. So what better way to introduce it to them then by sledding!!! Which he absolutely LOVED! As you will be able to tell by the pictures.

I love spending time with family. It's my favourite thing. This year my Mom put together an 'Amazing Race' on Christmas Day and it was so fun!! Becca and I were paired together and we were on our toes the whole time. The challenges were exciting and tough and it just made the day even more eventful.

For New Years we came back to Lethbridge to celebrate. We kept it pretty low key this year which was really nice after a busy and lovely Christmas. We played games, ate some food and just talked about life. We had friends and family over for most of the night and celebrated the Count Down with Matt and Tiff. And what better way to celebrate the coming of the new year than with SPARKLERS!! ....and a really sparkly hat ;)

Also, If you don't know this about me, I love to make 'home movies'. You can check out all of the HERE.

This year I made a Christmas and New Year video and it was so fun to make! It captured so many great memories and I love being able to look back on them. Click on the link below to view my Christmas 2014 Home Movie :)

So I know I am SOOO late on this OOTD post, but things have been super crazy over the holidays and lately. Better late than never?? :)

Ok, so I picked up this super perfect, super warm, super comfortable, super beautiful dress a few weeks before Christmas and I thought I literally hit the Jackpot!! Get this.....it was ON SALE! I have no idea why such a cute holiday dress was on sale BEFORE the holidays, but Im not going to complain! And of course, it goes so well with gold jewellery, which is my new favourite obsession.

And it doesn't have to only be a holiday dress, I feel like it's super versatile and I can dress it up or down for many different occasions.

Also, if you can't tell, I decided to try a more intense smokey for this look. But if Im being honest, it's not my favourite look for my face and skin tone. I doubt I will be doing it again. At least not the whole black eye liner on the bottom thing. Maybe if I started fake tanning, which I plan on trying for the first time soon! So stay tuned for that post as well ;) It might get a little messy and I may end up looking like an Umpa Lumpa.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and New Years! Those blog posts will also be up soon.

Holy crap! How has a 1/2 a year gone by already!?? Aurora hit her 6 months this December and it was so cute to be able to dress her up in a little Christmas outfit for this months picture. She is so full of personality and can lift my spirits in seconds when she give me that big gummy grin of hers.

At 6 months she is:

Majority of the time sleeping through the night. Some days are just crazy so she gets off schedule. But she sleep 11-12 hrs in her bed and wakes once to feed. The other week she went 12 hours without any feedings!! It was awesome.

Days away from crawling. She can make her way across a room by scootching or rolling or 'jumping' forward on all fours.

Eats solids like a champ. Her fav is Sweet Potato

Still looking just like her Daddy. But with my cheeks.

Pro traveller

Still Nursing. Although, I have a feeling it's going to end soon because Im drying up. Same thing happened with Ben around this time. But Im a little worried because I've been trying to ease her onto formula just in case I have no more milk for her, but she hates the taste! I only have 3 bags of milk left in the freezer and my pump broke so I need to do small amounts in there and try to slowly ease her onto it.

Prefers to be swaddled and sleeping on her back now. So weird. Usually its the other way around.

Loves loves loves her big brother. They are starting to play with each other and it makes my heart smile every time!

Still small. She is so light and fairly petite. But I love it. She still feels and looks like a tiny baby to me.

Sitting up. She will still fall some times though.

No teeth yet. Thank goodness. Im not excited for the teething process again.

3-6 month clothes

Size 2 diapers

LOVES to jump. We need to get her a jolly jumper asap!

She can walk forward if you're holding her arms (obvi). She takes the cutest little steps! So dainty and adorable.

Rolls back to front and front to back

Obsessed with her own feet. You will likely always see her chewing on them
